Magnetic textile materials represent a new category of smart materials, whose properties are obtainedeither by adding magnetic materials during the technological processes of obtaining fibres and yarns, either byapplying some magnetic materials on textile surfaces during the chemical finishing processes (electrolessplating, electroplating, magnetron sputtering). Therefore, by adding magnetic nano powders in the spinningsolution, fibres with magnetic properties are obtained, by adding metallic fibres, with magnetic properties,during the spinning process, magnetic yarns are obtained, and by the insertion of a certain percent ofmetallic/magnetic yarns during the weaving or knitting process, textile materials with magnetic properties areobtained. Thus, magnetic textile materials will possess the uniqueness of a textile structure due to specificfeatures as flexibility, breathability or lightweight, but at the same time, also the magnetic properties necessaryin multiple applications such as magnetic sensors, actuators and electromagnetic shielding used in technicalapplications for defence, automotive and aerospace.
